You are only blogging for a week and you are already pissed off with the system. I am not a whale and will properly not be one soon - if ever, but as in any community, cyber or physical, you get around by paying attention to others. It is not what you can get from it, but what you can give to them. Just be part of the community and forget about the votes and earnings. Share with us you passion and what make you tick in life​.
